A/N: I'm bullshitting my way with this particular fanfiction. So Pardon the mess.
Time sensitive.
I hated that word.
Time sensitive is a being that is able to see both past and future timeline. Sometimes, if the Time sensitive person is of strong line, he or she would be able to see alternate timelines. Time sensitive person were deemed too fragile and dangerous to be left on their own. Most time sensitive are human and they are not meant to see time like that. Not many can cope with seeing through the fabric of time and most of the time, they went insane or burn out from the outside and inside. It will be a painful death.
My name is Hope and I am a time sensitive. Unfortunately.
Because of my nature, my family is hunted by a race called the Time Lord. They have a very firm law regarding a time sensitive person, they are to be taken to their home planet, Gallifrey, where the person will be chosen as a bride for some pompous Time Lord. Once they are bonded, the time sensitive person will have a stable mind and their power will be attune more to those of the past and the future of his or her bonded Time Lord.
Most of time sensitive have no choice and are forced to bond with a Time Lord, willing or not. I will not have that as my fate. So, I ran, as far away as possible. I'm one of the oldest of age for someone who is a time sensitive. Most younger time sensitive are unable to hid very well and thus was taken to Gallifrey.
Time sensitive is originally supposed to be rare and yet these past years there are lot of people born with the time sensitive potential. I heard rumor it was because something that originated from Gallifrey. They said time sensitivity is a virus that plaque the human and the forced bond is some kind a cover up by the Time Lord. No one know for sure. The Time Lord are not very forthcoming about it. They never saw the human as equal in the first place, it's beneath them to even be with human, and yet they forced a bond with time sensitive person. They never treated time sensitive well, just another pawn for their own gain.
The Time Lord decided to take over the Earth so they can keep track and control all born time sensitive. Of course, the people of Earth refused and fought but it was useless. The Time Lord is superior compare to us, human.
I have motivation to continue evade those pompous time jackasses. The Time Lord who found me is a bastard that didn't even respect me and only saw me as a means to an end. He caused the death of my parents. I was able to trick him and trap him inside a prison he prepared for me and I escaped his rage. I never saw him again. I hope he never able to escape that cage, it would serve him right to spend the rest of his immortal life imprisoned.
I have been joining a human resistance against the Time Lord on some corner of the Earth. With my time sensitivity, I become useful in the resistance to evade those time jackasses. Though lately, I have been feeling sickly every time I peek on the fabric of time. I knew I was running out of time. I have to bond with a Time Lord (over my dead body) or really dies. I choose to die but I will use my time sensitivity as long as I can to help the resistance.

On the Gallifrey, the Time Lord officials are having a meeting regarding the resistance.
"They have a time sensitive on their side. That's the only possible way they could ever hope to evade us."
"Have we located this time sensitive traitor?"
"They have hidden him or her very well. We think the time sensitive has got a bio damper to hide their signature."
"How is that even possible? Find him or her immediately!"
"This particular time sensitive person seemed stronger than most. He or she will be valuable."
"If they help the human, it's unlikely they will pledge loyalty to us. Too dangerous. I voted we find them and execute them as a warning to those against us."
"What a waste. We could force a bond and they would have no choice but to serve whoever Time Lord they are bonded to."
"They have been out there for too long. Their mind is probably unstable. It would only be a matter of time before they die. But considering how they have been using their power, they are too dangerous to be left alive. I voted we kill them on sight."
The Doctor never like these meeting and despite being a celebrated war hero, no one seemed to want her opinion. She never approved of the Time Lords' decision to take over the Earth or the forcing of bond for those poor time sensitive people. But she also knew they have no choice but to bond with time sensitive or they will die. She hated that the Time Lords are forcing a bond, not because they care for the human, but because they want to exploit their power.
The Doctor raised her hand much to annoyance of the other. "I voted we capture them alive and then we will monitor their state of mind before we do anything harsh."
"Noted, Doctor." But it was clear to the Doctor, they didn't care. "So, who will go to earth and find them?"
"I volunteer." The Doctor said as she raised her hand again eagerly.
7777
The Doctor stroke her Tardis longingly. "It's been a while, old girl. Let's have an adventure together, eh?" she said. "We have to help the human and the poor time sensitive person on their side. Do you have any idea where they are?"
The Tardis hummed gently inside the Doctor's mind and she grinned. "Then, shall we go?"
7777
I woke up in sweat. My eyes widened.
Yaz rushed toward me. "Are you okay, Hope? What is it?"
"Someone is coming...someone dangerous..."
Yaz looked worried. "Do you know when?"
I furrowed my eyebrows. "Don't know. I can't see it clearly."
"It's getting worst, isn't it, for you, I mean, to see the future?" Yaz asked sadly.
"I'm fine, Yaz. Just needed more rest and I will be good as new." I lied.
She didn't believe me of course but she didn't argue. She knew better. Everyone knew I have an expired date.
7777
"Who the hell are you? You are trespassing here!"
The Doctor raised both hands in surrender. "I'm human, like you, I come in peace. I'm just looking for asylum here."
Jack stared at him in suspicion. "Scan her!" he ordered his soldiers.
The Doctor remained calm as a soldier approached her with a scanning machine to determine her species.
"Confirmed, human." the soldier replied.
The Doctor hummed. She is glad that her hunch is correct that the human has got their hands on the species scanner machine. The Doctor has put an upgraded bio damper on herself. "See? My name is Jane Smith. Now, may I get some rest? Been walking around for long and I'm tired."
Jack narrowed his eyes at the Doctor. "Fine. Let her get back to the bunker to see Martha. Tell her to keep an eye on her."
The Doctor sighed in relief. She is in. Now she has to figure out which one of the humans is the time sensitive.
7777
The Doctor got along well with Martha. Martha is a doctor who is in charge to keep everyone in good fit. She has checked the Doctor and cleared her.
Martha introduced her to Donna who is in charge of assigning new people to their quarter and duty.
The Doctor stared at Donna's ginger hair longingly. "I never get to be ginger..." she murmured.
Donna is loud and a bit intimidating, the Doctor found, but she likes her enough.
Strange, how most of the people here in resistance are likeable to the Doctor, even though some of them, are soldier like Rose, Amy and Clara. For some reason, the Doctor felt like she knew them like they were old friends. But that's not possible as she never seen them before.
It was dinner time and everyone, in the bunker, have dinner together. Despite their situation, they are having a good laugh with each other. The Doctor admired them. She watched Rose and Clara having a laugh together at Jack's expense. Martha is seated with her boyfriend, Mickey, whispering at each other. Amy is with a soldier called Rory whom the Doctor learned is also her husband. A woman named Bill and Heather are distributing food for everyone. Everyone is having a good time.
The Doctor's eyes widened when she saw her former companion, Sarah Jane Smith. She was on the other side of the room, talking with Donna. She had no idea that Sarah Jane is part of the resistance. She smiled fondly. Of course, Sarah Jane will be a defender of the earth.
The Doctor took a seat with Rose and her friends.
"Hey, new girl, Jane, right?" Rose asked with a friendly smile.
Clara grinned as she looks her up and down in appreciation which make the Doctor blushed red. "Looking good, Jane..."
"Down, girl." Rose said with a grin.
They soon involved with a friendly conversation with each other.
"So, how do you lot meet each other?" the Doctor asked curiously.
"Well, we all have our reason to join resistance... Mine is because of our daughter..." Amy said with a sad smile. "But we are actually recruited by..."
Rose suddenly shushed her. "No one is to mention him, remember?"
"Ah, right, he-who-shall-not-be-named."
"He's not Voldemort, Amy."
Everyone laughed at the running joke between them.
The Doctor observed everyone's interaction and realized that they must have been recruited by the time sensitive. But why? What makes them so special? Also, now she knew the time sensitive is a man. She will have to look around for a male fit the description of a time sensitive.
7777
"You need to eat, Hope." Yaz tried to persuade me to have dinner.
"Not hungry..." I said softly as I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling.
Jack entered the room without knocking. The former time agent always annoyed me since I always reprimanded him about his manner. "Hey, how is my Voldemort doing today?"
I scoffed at the nickname. "Shouldn't I be the boy who lives?"
"Nah, too heroic." Jack said with a grin.
It was a secret within our circle that the time sensitive is actually me and that I am a female. It was Clara's idea to throw the Time Lord off my scent. That's why they spread a rumour that the time sensitive is actually male just in case there are mole within the resistance. It annoyed me that the team I put out nicknamed me Voldemort or he-who-shall-not-be-named.
"Did you see any more about our hostile visitor?" Jack asked. He is worried after Yaz told him about my vision.
I shook my head. "Nope. But whoever it is coming and we have to be on alert."
"There a few new people coming in to join us. I already scanned them and they passed all the tests." Jack said.
I hummed. "Don't forget the Time Lord is a smarter race than us. They have plenty time to upgrade everything in their disposal. Ours are a bit outdated."
"Haven't you seen anything that could help in that regard?"
"Think the Time Lords are on me and my tricks. I think they put precaution to put shadow around Gallifrey. Can't see them clearly."
"Well that is a bummer."
"Jack!" Yaz glared at him.
"Sorry, Hope, you did good work." Jack said with a sad smile.
"I hate that I can't be much help." I said. "I have to prepare Melody for when the time come for me to die..."
Melody is the seven years old daughter of Amy and Rory and she is a time sensitive like me. I have been training her to hide herself from the prying us of other time sensitives and the time lords. She is the whole reason I recruited the parents. She will be my replacement in the future.
But that's not the only reason, I knew her parents are a potential defender of earth. I saw it in my vision. most people I recruited personally are because of my vision. I knew that in another timeline they were defenders of earth alongside someone called the storm? I never find out about the storm person and I never told any of them about him. At least I think it's a him.
Jack and Yaz winced every time I mentioned about my being dying. They hated how helpless they are regarding my situation. It is not like they could get their hand on a decent time lord to bond with me. I told them plenty of time there are not one decent time lord in existence.
Sarah Jane disagreed though. She mentioned a man called the Doctor who always defended the earth. But she thinks that man has died because otherwise she believed that the Doctor would join our cause. I never believe her. I didn't recruit her but I sense she is a good person as she joined the resistance on her own free will.
7777
The Doctor has been with the resistance for a week now and hasn't gotten any closer in figuring which male is the time sensitive. The said time sensitive indeed have been using a bio damper to hide his signature. The Doctor is worried the other Time Lords will be impatient and will declare wars on earth to force the time sensitive out.
The Doctor suspected a soft-spoken Ryan, who is not a soldier, is the time sensitive but she hasn't got any proof. Ryan is always with Graham, his grandfather, working on fixing damaged machinery within the bunker.
She hasn't formally talk to Sarah Jane either. She is unsure whether she should reveal her identity to her former companion. She is unsure that Sarah Jane would help her in tracking down the time sensitive.
She noticed a young woman sitting on library all by her lonesome.
"Hello there, I'm Jane, who are you? Never seen you before and I have been in the bunker for a week." the Doctor asked.
7777
I was minding my own business, drawing a doodle on my sketch book, when a young woman approached me. I glanced at her. One of the new people Jack mentioned then. I ponder whether I should talk to her or be rude so she left me alone. I closed down my sketch book and said, "I have been ill so I haven't gotten out of my room. Doctor's order."
Without invitation, Jane took a seat beside me. I tried to push down my annoyance. "You shouldn't sit with me. I'm still ill. Wouldn't want to get you ill too..." I said, hoping to scare her away.
Jane didn't look bothered. "I'm not worried. I'm always healthy all my life. My mother said that germs are afraid of me." she said as she moved closer to me.
"Look, Jane, do you mind? I would rather be alone." I said rudely.
"You haven't told me your name yet..."
"Why? Do you already know the name of everyone in the bunker?!" I asked angrily.
"Well, I meet with everyone already, I think, except those who are on mission." she said. "As for their name, sure, I do, I'm good with names, you see..." Then she started rattle on some name that I recognized and some that I didn't.
"Alright, I get it, It's Hope, okay?" I said in annoyance and a bit impressed.
"See, that wasn't so hard, was it? Let's be friend, shall we?"
"I don't do friend." I said immediately.
"How can you do not do friend? That's impossible!"
Jane's behaviour started to annoy me so much.
At the times, Yaz entered the library. When she saw me and Jane, she schooled her expression in a firm manner. "Hope, are you ditching your duty again?" she asked. She was saving me from having to interact with Jane. She knew how much I hated interaction.
"And who are you?" Jane asked with a tone that almost flirty which make Yaz blushed, which amused me. "Never see you either before. Hello there."
"I'm Yaz." she introduced herself. "You are Jane, right? Everyone talk about you. You are really famous with the children."
"I try..." Jane said with a grin.
"Sorry, Jane, we got to go to, duty call." I said as I grabbed Yaz away from her.
"Can I go with...?"
Before she could finish, I pulled Yaz quickly and out of the way.
"That was mean, Hope." Yaz said as she saw Jane has this sort of kicked puppy look on her face.
"She is too cheerful, I hated it." I said.
Yaz sighed.
7777
The Doctor meet Melody and she realized almost immediately that she is a time sensitive. So, there are more than one time sensitive within the resistance, the Doctor concluded. She realized someone has been training little Melody to utilize her power. But Melody is still a child and she slipped out which caused the Doctor to catch on her signature.
She remembered what Amy said about her reason to join the resistance is for her daughter's sake. The Doctor felt sadness for the whole affair. She wishes she could fix the time sensitive problem. But she is helpless. The Doctor really fond of little Melody for some reason. She had no idea why.
She has to report to Gallifrey soon and she is unsure whether she should inform them about little Melody. Melody would be safer in Gallifrey. But the Doctor know it is not quite true. She shuddered at the thought someone might try to claim Melody too early. Also, if she informed about Melody, she will be ripped away from her parents and that's something the Doctor can't accept. She loves Amy and Rory; they are now her friends. She had managed to make friends here and she knew she would have to betray them eventually.
7777
The song 'which way you going, Billy' played on a tape recorder and I hummed and moved my body along with the song.
Jack stood by the pillar, watching me dance, with a grin in his face. "You are in a good mood."
I stopped moving my body immediately, looking like a deer in the headlights.
The expression on my face made Jack laughed as I glared at him.
I turned to stop the song but he stopped me and pulled me to dance with him. I decided to play along, after all, like he said, I'm in a good mood. My head space is clear right now and I'm feeling refreshed.
"You really are in good mood." Jack commented.
I didn't reply as I raised my eyebrows at him.
He grinned as he spins me around ungracefully because I almost fell but he caught me and we both share a laugh.
Jane suddenly coughed. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt." she said softly.
I pulled away from Jack hastily upon seeing Jane. I stopped the song. I quickly said, "I should go before Yaz realized i'm ditching my duty again..."
Jack look amused at the lies I told but didn't say anything. He watched me left before I heard him turned to Jane with a flirty manner. "How can I help you, Jane?"
I could feel Jane is staring at my retreat. I don't know why I can't bear to be around Jane.
7777
For some reason, I felt like Jane is very curious about me. She seemed to be showing up wherever I go. She even found out my secret hiding place for when I felt everything is too much for me. She seemed worried that I look a little pale. I told her I'm fine but she didn't believe me.
I was upset today because I saw something in my future, something that I have been fearing for a long time, a time jackass is coming for me. But I couldn't see the time lord's face in my vision which frustrated me greatly. How I am meant to be cautious if I have no idea the face of my enemy?
"Are you okay, Hope?" Jane asked.
"Just leave me alone."
"I don't think you should be alone right now."
"Why do you care? You don't even know me!" I yelled angrily.
"But I do want to get to know you." Jane answered solemnly.
"Why?" I asked as I narrowed my eyes in suspicion.
"I don't know why. I think you are very interesting, Hope..."
I gulped at that. No one ever find me interesting, no one but my inner circle, the people who know that I am a time sensitive. Everyone else never bother me, which is what I prefer. I would like to remain invisible but this woman, Jane, why did she keep seeing me? Suddenly I'm afraid of Jane. What is her ulterior motive?
"...and very sad... I just would like to see you smile more." Jane said which make me speechless.
Is she flirting with me? or is she trying to play a concerned friend?
The alarm sounded loudly which startled both of us.
"What is that?"
"A trespasser is located somewhere." I said.
Jane left me to find the people in charge of security which would be Jack.
7777
I told Yaz and Clara about Jane today and they actually laughed at me.
"Someone got a crush..." Clara teased.
Do they mean me or Jane? I'm displeased with their teasing.
7777
I met Jane again when I was with Melody. Jane smiled at the both of us. I discreetly warned Melody to keep our secret.
Melody grinned as she nodded along with me with a secretive smile.
I observed how Jane interact with Melody and I felt an alarm ringing in my head. I frowned as I observe Jane some more. But I couldn't find anything suspicious about Jane. Yet I still can't shake this frightening feeling like I'm making a big mistake.
I left them to see Jack and Clara. I asked them to investigate Jane.
Clara teased me about my 'crush' on Jane and me wanting information for a date.
Jack looked surprised and grinned. "My girl is all grown up."
"Shut up both of you." I said in my firm tone which sober them immediately. "Jane is suspicious. I want to know more about her. I don't like her around Melody either. Just find out more about her. Make it happen, Jack."
Jack observed me carefully and then nodded when he saw how serious and afraid I am.
Clara observed the both of us. "I guess I will be keeping an eye on Jane then." She volunteered.
"Thank you. I hope I'm wrong about this." I said.
"But she is a human though." Jack said.
I shrugged. "wouldn't be the first a human betrays us for the time jackass." I reminded them.
They both nodded grimly.
7777
Sarah Jane heard the conversation between Hope, Jack and Rose about Jane. She has been suspicious about Jane for a while, not because she thinks Jane is evil but because she reminded her of the Doctor. The conversation she overheard made her decided to confront Jane to see if her hunch is correct.
Jane is busy doing the duty assigned to her by Donna. She is working with Ryan as a mechanic for the bunker. She is ranting at Ryan about the joy of mechanic.
Ryan is too polite to ask her to shut up.
Sarah Jane smiled. 'I should have realized sooner...' she thought as she observed Jane's behaviour.
When Jane noticed her, she looked a bit frantic which made her smile. "Oh, hey, there, Sarah...Jane..."
"Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"I'm a bit busy, right now."
Ryan quickly intervened. "Leave that to me, Jane. Talk to your friend." he said almost too quickly.
"Oh, we are not friend..." Jane said quickly before realized that was a bit rude. "...yet..."
Sarah Jane grinned. "Come on, fellow Jane, let's have a talk somewhere private."
7777
The Doctor is panicking when Sarah Jane demanded to talk to her. Did her cover get blown? She followed Sarah Jane to a private room.
Sarah Jane immediately turned around and called her 'Doctor' much to her horror.
"I'm not...a doctor? I'm a mechanic...?"
Sarah Jane looked at her with a look that said she is dumb. "Cut the crap, Doctor. I know it is you."
The Doctor sighed. "How did you figure it out?"
Sarah Jane grinned. "So, it's you. You've changed!" she said with a happy smile as she hugged the Doctor. "You are a time lady now..."
The Doctor shushed her and looking around hoping no one is around as she opened the door and take a look at the corridor. She sighed in relief when she saw no one. Deemed safe, she turned to Sarah Jane and hugged her back. "It's so good to finally be able to talk again with you, Sarah Jane..."
"Oh, Doctor...I'm so glad you're here. We could all use your help." She said.
The Doctor can't help but feeling guilty.
Sarah Jane frowned. "You are not here to join the resistance?"
She shook her head.
"You are here for the time sensitive." she concluded. She looked disappointed.
"Do you know who he is?" The Doctor asked.
Sarah Jane blinked at her before having a realization of something. She turned away from the Doctor. "Even for you, I can't tell the identity of the time sensitive."
The Doctor grabbed her. "But you know who, don't you?"
Sarah Jane didn't answer but the Doctor know that she knew. "I'm not gonna tell you, Doctor."
"Sarah Jane, you know the fate of time sensitive. He's dying without a bond."
"And he prefers dying over being forced to bond, Doctor."
The Doctor shook her head. "He will die in pain."
"And it will be his choice." Sarah Jane said carefully. "Doctor, you know how your race treated the time sensitive, how can you be okay with this?"
"I'm not okay with it. But there is nothing I can do to stop it."
"Are you really here for the time sensitive?"
The Doctor nodded. "I was told to find him and bring him to Gallifrey...alive." she said. "If they send anyone else, it would be to execute him, Sarah Jane. I can help him."
"What are you going to do? force a bond with him?"
"Beg for a bond with him." The Doctor answered. "I wouldn't force him. I wanted to save him, Sarah Jane."
Sarah Jane shook her head. "I'm sorry, Doctor, I can't help you." She turned around and left the room quickly despite the Doctor's protest.
The Doctor groaned in frustration. "Now what do I do?" She can only hope that Sarah Jane didn't betray her to the resistance. She could force inside Sarah Jane's head using telepathy to get the identity of the time sensitive but if she does that, Sarah Jane would never forgive her.
7777
I screamed as I ripped myself from my vision. I sobbed hard as I finally woke up.
Yaz, my eternal companion, went to my side and rubbed my back. "It's okay, Hope, breath, just breath..."
"No, it's not okay." I said with a sob. "I saw him..."
"Who?"
"Call Jack and Clara, tell them I need them, please."
Yaz nodded and ran out of the room to find them.
I clutched my heart in painfully and I gasped as I realized I'm having a heart attack. I fell into the floor as I desperately trying to grasp for my medical remote. But I failed.
Yaz, Jack and Clara rushed inside the room. When they saw me gasping for breath on the floor, they quickly worked on me.
I grabbed Jack. "Jack, he's coming..." I said with fear in my eyes.
"Who?" Jack asked.
"The Monitor." I replied.
"Who?" Jack and Clara asked in the same time.
Yaz gasped. "It's a time lord's title. He is the one who murdered her parents." she whispered. "Azazel, she said, she is to call him."
"Okay, that's a slightly better name than the Monitor." Clara said. "Is Azazel on his way here?"
I nodded. "He got...out of...the...prison..." I whispered. "Was...meant...for...me...turned...the...table...on him..."
"Nice." Jack praised me.
"He...is...vicious, Jack..." I warned him. "Put...on...red...alert..."
Jack and Clara nodded and they left me with Yaz to call an urgent meeting with everyone.
7777
"What is going on?" the Doctor asked Rory when she saw the soldier ordered to tighten their security.
"The time sensitive... He warned us that a time lord is coming..." Rory said.
The Doctor's body tensed. Did Sarah Jane betray her? But if she did, wouldn't everyone turn against her right now?
"Jane!" Sarah Jane called out.
The Doctor turned to Sarah Jane. "Sarah Jane..."
"Oh thanks God, you're okay, I thought they meant you..." she said in relief.
"What's going on?"
"They have an urgent meeting. A time lord is coming for the time sensitive."
"Sarah Jane, you have to tell me who he is." The Doctor demanded.
"Doctor..."
"Whoever is coming will execute him, Sarah Jane!"
"I can't betray the resistance. They are my family, Doctor. Doctor, you watch your back, okay? Tension is running high. The last thing we want is everyone finding out that you are a time lady." Sarah Jane said and left before the Doctor can say anything.
The Doctor watched her left and groaned in frustration. She wonders if she should risk everything to find the time sensitive. As she walked past a medical room, she heard Martha telling someone to get a rest. She briefly saw the patient and her eyes widened in concern when she saw it was Hope.
"Hope?! Are you okay? What's wrong with you?" the Doctor asked in concern.
7777
I groaned. How can I rest when the loudest person is here?
Yaz, who stood near my bed, hid a smile.
Jane fussed over me.
"I'm fine, Jane, stop panicking." I said in annoyance.
"You don't look fine." Jane said with a sad puppy look.
Dear God, what's with the puppy look? Seriously. On the corner of my eyes, I saw Yaz stifled a giggle at my expression. I glared at her.
"Can I stay with you?" Jane asked.
"You should be with the others. They are evacuating the civilians, you know." I said.
"But you are here..."
"I'm sick."
"Hah, you are not fine at all." Jane exclaimed as if she won the argument.
Yaz grinned at the interaction. "Oh, you are both adorable..."
Jane looked at Yaz, puzzled.
At the times, we heard Jack barked orders outside the room. "...a time lord called the Monitor." We caught the end of his orders.
Jane turned pale as she rushed outside the door.
I frowned at the display.
7777
The Doctor rushed toward Jack. "Did you say the Monitor?" She practically yelled. The Doctor knew the Monitor. He is one of the most vicious Time Lord back in Gallifrey. If he is here, then a war about to blow up. Strange though because everyone seemed to believe the Monitor is missing.
Jack glanced at her with caution.
The Doctor, realizing her mistake, said, "I meant I heard monitors? Is there monitor need fixing?"
Jack rolled his eyes. "You need to evacuate with the others, Jane. No duty for the civilian today."
Clara stared at the Doctor. "You are funny sort of person, Jane." she said with a grin.
Both Jack and Clara left.
The Doctor groaned again. Time is running out and she can't do anything.
7777
"Hope Minette, I know you are there! Come out, come out wherever you are, little lamb." Azazel yelled on the border before the hidden bunker.
7777
"Holy shit." Jack cursed as the Monitor basically just outed the time sensitive from the live camera around the border.
There are people that not of the inner circle in the room and they are all asking questions about the name.
Rose, Amy, Rory and Clara exchanged a nervous glance with Jack.
Hope is not going to like this.
7777
I flinched as if I could hear Azazel. We have an incomplete bond. I couldn't find a way to break the half bond.
"Yaz, the medicine..." I asked.
Yaz stared at me. "Don't, Hope, the medicine is not good for you."
"There is no time, Yaz, time is running out for me. It is time." I said.
Yaz reluctantly gave me the medicine.
I popped some pills and drank some water. I felt better just enough to take action.
"Hope, there has to be other ways..."
"there isn't. I told you a long time ago...this is how I end..."
Yaz blinked back tears.
I hugged her close. "It's been a pleasure to be your friend, Yaz." I said as I said my goodbye.
Yaz hugged me back. "This isn't fair."
7777
"What are you doing out here?" Jane asked me as she spotted me on the hallway.
I sighed at her. "I could say the same about you." I said.
She grinned sheepishly.
I shook my head. "Doesn't matter. Can you help me to the command center?" I asked.
"Why are you going over there?"
At the times, Amy and Clara approached us.
"Hope, he is asking for you..." Amy said.
"I know." I said. "Amy, you should be with Melody. She would be frightened right now."
Amy nodded and left to find Melody.
"wait, who is asking for Hope?" Jane asked. "What do Jack want with her?"
Clara looked amused. "jealous?" she asked Jane.
I glared at Clara. "Not the time nor the place, Clara Oswald."
"Sorry, can't resist..." Clara shrugged with a grin.
Clara and Jane helped me to the command center.
Jane let me go as she stepped toward the monitors showing the live feed of the Monitor. "Is that...?"
"...time jackass..." I said.
Jane turned to look at me, really looked at me, and frowned. She gasped. "It was you..."
I frowned at Jane.
Azazel yelled again, calling out my name.
"Well, the cat is out of the bag..." I whispered in annoyance. "Jack, it is time."
Jack looked saddened at my words.
Jane looked at Jack and Rose and Clara and Rory. They are all wearing a sad face. "What is going on? What are you planning to do?"
I sighed in annoyance. "None of your business."
"Of course, it is! You lot are in trouble and I can help!" Jane said.
"Jane, enough..." Rose said. "You need to leave."
Jane glared at Rose. "Not going anywhere." She turned toward me. "What are you planning to do, Hope?"
I glanced at Jane. "Psychic bomb."
Jane took a step back in shock. "What?"
"On the other timelines, I foresaw my death by psychic bomb initiated by my darling time jackass husband. He pushed me on a room where some other time lords are and detonated my time sensitivity energy into a psychic bomb, stopped my heart and the other time lords' hearts." I said absentmindedly.
"What?" Jane exclaimed again.
I ignored her and turned to Jack. "I'm going to use it against the Monitor."
Clara's eyes widened. "That's why the barrier..."
"Yes, Clara. I'm going out there to face him in a safe distance. You lot will put up the barrier just in case I'm not far enough when I detonate the bomb." I said.
Everyone, in my inner circle, understood and nodded. Except Jane who still having a hard time understanding.
"No." Jane said. She turned to me with a firm look. "I'm not going to let you do that."
I glared at her. "Who are you to stop me?"
"I'm the Doctor and I am a..."
Sarah Jane yelled, "Doctor, don't!"
"...time lord, I mean, lady...every time..." Jane, no, the Doctor revealed herself and groaned.
Sarah Jane shook her head. Of course the Doctor would ignored her regarding keeping her identity a secret.
The Doctor turned toward me with a firm look. "And I voted no to psychic bomb."
I growled angrily when the truth about who she really is sink in. "You don't get a vote, time jackass!"
Jack and the others pointed their weapons at the Doctor.
"Everyone calms down!" Sarah Jane begged.
"Ugh, what is it with you lot and guns?" complained the Doctor as she pulled her sonic screwdriver from her pocket and waved it around to disable their weapons much to everyone's annoyance upon finding their guns are useless.
Rose glared at her. "Well, considering your kind is the one who started this in the first place, do you really think you can complain? You took people from their friends and family."
"I know but you also know bonding is the only way to save the time sensitive." The Doctor said. "The Time Lord just want to save them..."
"And sentenced them to a life of slavery." I added with venom on my voice as I glared at her coldly. "Time Jackass." I said pointedly at her.
"It's a work in progress... For now, that's the only way to save them."
Rory snorted at that. "I won't accept that, not for my little girl. Melody deserves better than to be tied to some Time Lord that can't even treat people equally."
"Either way, detonating a psychic bomb is a really bad plan." The Doctor said to everyone and then she actually pouted at me. "And by the way, that's really hurt, Hope, I haven't been a jackass to you." The Doctor exclaimed with a puppy look.
Clara burst into a giggle which earned her a look from everyone especially me. "Sorry, but she's funny..."
"What do you want, Doctor?" I spat angrily.
The Doctor walked toward me and actually kneeled before me. "Bond with me..."
My jaws dropped in shock. "What?"
"Oh, I should have gotten a popcorn..." Clara whispered to Rose who elbowed her but can't help but smiled in amusement.
Even Jack couldn't help but laughed at my predicament. "Did she just propose to our Hope?"
Sarah Jane rolled her eyes at the Doctor with fondness.
I glared menacingly at the Doctor. "What make you think I want to bond at all?" I spat. "Your race put mine through hell. And that bastard out there took my parents from me. I wanted to kill him."
"And then what? Say your plan work, he died and you died. What happened to the resistance? Melody is not ready as a time sensitive to fight for the resistance. And Gallifrey, the other Time Lords, will see his death as a declare of war on them and they will pulverize the resistance with their weapon." The Doctor exclaimed quickly. "Your fight will be over."
I frowned, seeing the truth in her words. "How do I know this is not a trick? After I bond with you, how do I know you are not going to turn against us?"
Sarah Jane stood before me and said, "I vouched for her. She can be trusted. She is the time lord I told you about. She is good. Beside if anyone can stop an army, it would be the Doctor, the oncoming storm..."
I snapped my eyes toward the Doctor at the mention of storm. "Storm person...?" I whispered.
The Doctor looked at me, one hand raised toward me. "What do you say?"
Before I could reply, my head suddenly filled with pain. I fell to the ground before the Doctor, clutching my head in panic. "He is in my head..."
The Doctor's eyes widened as she used her sonic on me and frowned at the result. "Incomplete bond...and the closest he is to you, the bond will be wanting to complete." she whispered. "Hope, look at me, the Monitor is a very bad very vicious person, you don't want to be his bonded. Allow me to bond with you and I can break his hold on you. Please trust me."
Sarah Jane also kneeled before me and said, "I would definitely choose the Doctor if I were you.."
I glanced at the both of them and then yelped in pain again.
The Doctor grabbed both side of my head and whispered, "I need your consent, Hope, please give it to me."
"Okay..." I relented finally.
"Say I consent and gladly give..." The Doctor put her forehead on mine as her hands took a hold of mine.
"I consent and gladly give..." I whispered.
A yellow glow surrounded us and all the pain in my mind suddenly cleared and I felt so much better than I have been for years.
The Doctor smiled at me with relief. "Thank you..." She said before releasing me and stood to face everyone. "Now, where were we?" She heard the Monitor yelled in enraged, feeling the bond disappeared, demanded to see me and my bonded. "Right, that..."
I slowly stood up and stared at the live feed. "What do we do now?"
Jack put a hand over my shoulder. "You are no longer dying then?" he asked.
I smiled.
He grinned and spin me around in excitement. "Good news!"
Everyone laughed at us, except the Doctor, who pulled me away from Jack.
"Possessive already, I love it..." Clara grinned at the Doctor.
"Right, time to deal with the Monitor. I'm gonna go out there. You lot stay here." The Doctor ordered.
I stopped her. "Is that a good idea? You said it yourself he is dangerous. And right now, you are probably his least favorite person."
The Doctor winked. "Worried for me?"
I stuttered in embarrassment and Jack and the others laughed at my being speechless.
"We never get along anyway..." The Doctor said. "He never like me." She shrugged.
"Doctor, just be careful." I said. Now that we are bonded, I can see that she is good, like Sarah Jane said, though I still am wary because of her race. I could see the Doctor's timeline swirled around her.
"Careful is my middle name." The Doctor said with a grin.
"More like reckless is your middle name." Sarah Jane said.
"Oii!"

I watched with the others on the live feed as the Monitor challenged the Doctor on a duel for a chance to take over me. To my horror, the Doctor actually accepted. I'm not worried for her, well, maybe a little, but more like I worried she will lose and than I would have to surrender to Azazel.
Thankfully, the Doctor won and declared that I belong to her and the Monitor has to leave me alone. The Monitor actually obeyed her which surprised me because he didn't strike me as the type to take order from a woman.
The Doctor returned to the bunker and grinned adorably at me.
Adorable. Oh, God, is the bond making me to start feeling thing for her? I frowned in worry. Would I not be me anymore?
The Doctor hold one of my hand and said, "It will be okay, Hope..." She kissed my knuckles softly much to my embarrassment.
I pulled my hands away from her and turned around only to see Jack and the rest are giving me amused looks. I glared at them. "Shut up."
"Didn't say anything." Jack said with a shitty grin.

That night, Jack and the others held a banquet for the Doctor...and me much to my annoyance.
The Doctor danced a silly dance with the children much to everyone's amusement.
When she returned to the seat beside me, she glanced at me with fondness. How can she be fond of me already? I couldn't understand it.
"Would you come with me into the Tardis?" She asked.
I narrowed my eyes at her. "I'm not staying at Gallifrey! This is my home."
"Oh, I know, I'm not taking you there. But...I can show you the world..." The Doctor said softly.
Rose, who heard our conversation, giggled with Clara as she said, "Look at her, she's about to burst into ' a whole new world' song..."
I turned toward them with a glare but they kept laughing at me. I rolled my eyes at them before turning to the Doctor. "What about Gallifrey? I assume they sent you here to get to me, right? What are you gonna say to them?"
"That you are bonded to me thus no longer a threat to them."
I frowned at that.
"I'm not gonna abuse our bond. I promise. I just have to convince them that you are obeying me." she said in a rushed tone.

I stepped into the Tardis and despite knowing about Tardises from my vision, I still in awe of the Doctor's Tardis.
The Doctor grinned proudly seeing my reaction. "Say it, please, say it..."
"It's bigger on the inside..." I said.
"I know." She giggled happily.
I hid a grin at how adorable she is right now like a puppy.
And she showed me some beautiful place on another planets. I could slowly feel myself falling for her hard. Maybe it won't be a bad thing.
"Doctor, I have to tell you something..."
The Doctor, who is on the console pulling on some button, raised her face toward me. "What's it?"
I approached her slowly. "It's about your timeline. It's all wrong. Someone changed your past and this universe is the result."
The Doctor frowned at me. "How do you mean?"
"My friends, my inner circle, the people I recruited, they are your friends, or are supposed to be. They are your companion. I saw a storm person in my vision, he is a good man and he will be you eventually. You and them, defenders of the earth..." I said with a faraway look as I recalled my vision.
"Show me?" The Doctor pleaded for permission to see into my head and I let her.
She gasped as she released me. "Not possible..." She looked troubled.
"I'm not even supposed to be a part of your life." I said. "I died and never met you."
The Doctor turned toward me and put a hand over my cheek. "Can't imagine never meeting you..." she whispered softly.
"Doctor...we have to fix it..."
"Why?"
"Because that's the correct timeline."
"I destroyed Gallifrey and in your vision, I was still a good man?"
"The very best man..." I said. "You have the best companion, the most loyal to you...and you have River Song...your wife... She was Melody...and she was the love of your life."
The Doctor could see a flash of a young woman in curl and high heels calling out 'Hello, sweetie' to her previous incarnations and then she saw a scared little girl trapped in spacesuit.
"No." She said.
"Doctor..."
"That was no longer my timeline. That was things that happen in some alternate universe now. They are not my past or future." She said. She turned toward me. "You are. Now. You are my future." She caressed my face gently.
Oh, this woman will be the death of me, I thought as I pulled her and kissed her hard.
She kissed me back as passionately.
